Amazing how Greek words and letters actually have massive influence in many fields, yet it's not really a popular language to learn for most people.
It was twice the most spoken language in the world so it has to make huge influence as Greece is also the Cradle of Western civilization
It used to be very widely spoken, especially in its ancient form, but now only people whose families speak greek learn it. Sometimes even university students and professors do as well, for example i know what in South Korea, some students learn about Homer and are taught greek to help them with their education. It must be said that Greek is also very hard to learn, not as hard as japanese or korean, but still hard af.
Its totally useless to learn, it's only spoken in Greece and Cyprus, two basically insignificant countries, has not sister languages you can learn afterwards, no business value and it's super hard to pronounce unless you're Spanish or maybe African.. it has a lot of open sounds which are horror for English, German or Russian speakers and soft consonants which are hard for Arabic or Chinese speakers.
P.S I am Greek
Guess what I know greek because I am Greek
Because the greek that has a lot of influence in many fields Is the ancient greek and not the current one. It Is like saying why nobody study italian since latin words are found in many fields ? PS : i am italian and i studied ancient greek.
I adore everything Greek , the language , the food , the nature , the culture , even there mythology ❤️
We thank you.
👍👍😀
Thank you!❤
Thanks
Aww thank u so much
Thank you all for being so kind ❤️
Would love to visit your country one day 🥰
I see a lot of influence from the Greek language in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and especially history, even the Bible had Greek influence (the biblical New Testament was originally Greek while the Old Testament was in Aramaic).
Old Testament was Borg in Hebrew and Aramaic
Probably because at the time of the New Testament the lingua franca of the eastern part of the Roman Empire was Greek
The evolution of the alphabet is symbol (like a bull), Hebrew aleph, Greek alpha, a.
The first translations of the Original Hebrew/Arameic Bible were Septuaginta and Vulgata . It wasn't written in Greek it was translated so more people in Europe could access it and then the Latin Bible was used for centuries.
Greek words are always the ugliest words
Πάμε ελληνικά! Πάμε Ελλάδα! 🇬🇷 δεν είμαι Έλληνας χαχα, αλλά, διαβάζω ελληνικά τώρα και μου αρέσει πάρα πολύ αυτή η γλώσσα ❤ I am studying Greek right now and I love it. It just makes me sad that you hardly ever see content on the Greek language like this. It's not a very popular language but I think it should be. It's a very beautiful, complex, and intriguing language. It's also very ancient. I wish more people saw the beauty in it and studied it

Fun fact: the Latin alphabet is also Greek in origin, taken to the Italian peninsula by Greek colonies. In the Greek city-states of antiquity there were many alphabets. Until in the 5th century BC in Athens, all alphabets were brought together and unified into one, the one we have today, minus 4 letters which were removed in the era of the Roman Empire.
The "latin" alphabet comes from the Chalcidian alphabet. ☺

The italian girl should’ve said that in italy there’s a type of highschool where we study ancient greek, but even if she didn’t study it, she should’ve been able to know many more letters since it’s common knowledge here and also used for math
They are acting
Infatti mi stupisco che non abbia saputo neppure la ypsilon . Un minimo di superiori e almeno 5 le riconoscevi
Tranquilli che il 98% delle persone non lo sa. Allo scientifico conosciamo al massimo alfa beta e gamma per gli angoli. (Poi non so se se ne fanno altre al quinto anno che sto al quarto) ne so un paio in piu per cultura personale ma quasi nessuno le sa

Finally a video with focus on greek language , although i don't know that much i've been interested for a long time , since greek influenced many other languages in the world
Never studied Greek, but I got most of them right cause of all the letters I found during my scientific studies. Also yes, as Italian I can say we have a lot of words coming from Latin and Greek
Greek alphabet: Α,Β,Γ,Δ,Ε,Ζ,Η,Θ,Ι,Κ,Λ,Μ,Ν,Ξ,Ο,Π,Ρ,Σ,Τ,Υ,Φ,Χ,Ψ,Ω

Italian & Latin alphabet & idiom was based in old and classic Greek alphabet and idiom and all neolatin romanic Langs, slavics, Celtics Baltics, germanics are based in greek cos the Greek mythology, philosophy,arts,science,poetry influence is global til today.
Greek is the father figure and real father for Italian for Spanish,Portuguese, French, Romanian etc
Ho detto la stessa cosa anche io. In tutte le superiori almeno 5 lettere in matematica le trovi... allo scientifico ne impari altre 4 5

It was great to hear them spoken by a native speaker. Would love to hear the rest.
For some reason I studied the Greek alphabet and Roman numerals in high school in Venezuela, so this time I got them all right
Hellenic is older than Latin!
Latin alphabet was based on Hellenic.
They might be confusing for them but you are all using Hellenic letters.
Slavs too! The Cyrillic alphabet was invented by two Hellene🇬🇷 monks based on the alphabet they knew: Hellenic.
They used that alphabet to write the language of the Rus and convert the Slavic people to Orthodoxy!

Something that very few people know is that if you say the names of the letters you are making a prayer to the Sun!
Every time that you are saying the alphabet you are praying to the eternal and life-giving light of the Sun-God Apollo!
Yes, the alfabet is older, but the murching of sounds in modern Greek is quite confusing.😅
The neolatins idioms are called neohellenics idioms cos they all are based on Greek too.

In German, we literally call Y Ypsilon. It's the only letter that has such a long "name" in our language.
Unfortunately, we all learned Greek letters either by studying math or due to Covid19 variants.
Psilon bedeutet hoch. Hoch i , omicron ( micro bedeutet kurz) kurz o , omega bedeutet (mega bedeutet groß ) groß o (Ω) das ist eine klein information 🙂. der deutsche Spracheist auch schön aber ich finde schwierig richtig zum lernen ,besonders das Artikel aber ich versuche noch.
Ψηλόν means high, ψιλόν from ύψιλον means thin
Greek letters were learned in primary school in Argentina, and we used them for math.
Transformers is Unicron, not Omicron Andrea...
Greek is similar to Russian because Cyrillic is a writing system made by Orthodox Christians when they expanded Christianity into the pagan lands of the Kievan Rus. It is based on classical Greek alphabet adapted for the old Russian sounds.
Greek grammar and spelling have nothing to do with Russian language.. the Cyrillos and Methodios, the two Greek Priests did not invent the language of Russians but their alphabet... the language existed and evolved years before the Russian alphabet...
@@karieamelsims4331 hey Karen. That exactly what I've said. There is no sentence where I say the priests "invented" Russian...
Facts! 💯 Also, some Fun Facts:
Anrdea = Greek 🇬🇷 Name meaning Brave [Manly]
Sofia = Greek 🇬🇷 Name meaning Wisdom
The Greek 🇬🇷 Letters Everyone should AT LEAST know are:
Αlpha
Βeta
Γamma
Δelta
Κappa
Λambda
Οmicron
Πi = 3.14
Σigma
Υpsilon = E Griega
Ωmega
^^^^At Minimum those should be known by anyone in a Western Country 🤷🏻♂️
The Beginning of Argentina’s name is from the Greco-Latin Argiro, we still use this word for SILVER (as well as with Asimenio).
Also, one of the First Preseidners of Argentina was Greek! Greetings to our friends in Beautiful Argentina! Blue & White Power!

@@karieamelsims4331All Slavs use an Alphabet developed by Kyrillos the Greek Eastern Roman "Byzantine" and was codified by Naum & Clement, their disciples.
Finally an episode about greek language! We are waiting for more!
Also trying to remember how the greek 'O' sounds are spelled/pronounced you could remember their etymology. Omikron (Ο/ο) means mikro 'O' (=little O) while Omega (Ω/ω) means mega 'O' (=Big O)
In Spanish, when we use greek letters in Maths or Physics, we call τ tau (pronounced taoo), ν nu (pronounced noo) and μ mu (pronounced moo), φ is fi (pronounced fee)
θ is theta (pronounced teta), but δ is delta, ρ is ro, γ is gamma... I suppose psi, sigma, omicron, lambda don't change in other languages, but maybe I'm wrong.
same in italyy
Many of them are correct. Also the Υ(lower case υ) in Spanish is y griega, meaning Greek ee, so you can understand the sound it makes. But it's not always as ee but sometimes when it's next to α, ο, ε it makes another sound. If you're interested I can tell you
The tau is correct and u represents the Ypsilon (υ), but since Byzantine Greek era, αυ started to sound like af or av. So Taf is the correct pronounciation today and in Greek writes like Ταυ. Same with Nu, Mu. It pronounces like Nee and Mee today but in antiquity Y(υ) was a combination of oo and ee, like the French U and German Ü
The same is with Russian about these letters.
Even about "Y" of the Latin alphabet, it is called "игрек" (possibly borrowed from French, but the stress shifted to the first syllable).
Don’t you call Yspilon = Y as: E Griega? Or is that only in Latin American Countries? 🤔
for anyone wondering, the multiple I's and E's are a remnant of ancient greek.
which had more complicated, and more in total, pronunciations.
lucky us, modern greek simplified all those into a single sound each.
They all had different sounds. Now we have seven different ways to say ι. If anything, it got more complicated to learn.
The Spanish girl talking about Greek words as brands, I've seen a TED-talk, a linguist gave his own, kind of relevant interpretation about it. The companies which decide to use a Greek word as their name have slightly higher chances to succeed. All I remember, I was amazed by his conclusion and some data he provided. He's talking generally how powerful the Greek language can be and how is still shaping us, despite of the widespread use of English.
In spanish the letter Y is called "i griega" (literally greek i)
Same in French. Y is pronounced "i grec"
If you had physics class in high school and were somewhat interested in it, you know almost all of the Greek alphabet, both upper and lower case letters.
True, but you've also been taught to mispronounce them.
@@dreamystone Not exactly... The pronunciation often taught is how the letters were originally pronounced in ancient Greek (the Ancient Greeks used to pronounce them very similarly, although that's changed since the early byzantine empire (the first changes happened before that in koine Greek))
For example, in Pericles' era (Attic dialect), not many fricatives existed, the letters representing today's representing plosives in ancient Greek. For example, "π β φ" was pronounced "p, b, p-h", with all three of them being plosives. Phi (φ) was pronounced the same as pi (π), but aspirated (denoted with the extra h). That's why all ancient Greek words containing phi were transliterated using the consonant cluster "ph" in Latin. Same goes with "θ/th" pronounced the same as "τ" but aspirated, and "χ/chi" being an aspirated "k". The "th" also eventually replaced any English alternatives (like the thorn), having been influenced by the French language (who also adopted it from Greek phonology; note that the French "th" sounds much closer to the ancient Greek equivalent than the English "th" does).
Examples to demonstrate (words derived using this method to English):
- theater < ... < θεάομαι
- philosophy < ... < φιλεῖν + σοφός
- character < ... < χαράσσω (χαράττω in Attic)
@@sillynephele If you are Greek then you are the first Greek I have met who accepts the reconstructed pronunciation. Since you are alive, you must be very careful to hide this dark side of yours in front of your fellow Greeks.
@@igorjee It does feel like that sometimes haha. Most Greeks are more conspiracist-like (if that's even a word) than most flat-earthers regarding the language. I like to think that it ruins their patriotism to grasp a weirdly unfamiliar language in the past, that almost sounds alien, if you will. Maybe it's to their genuine dislike, that they would prefer to stay absent from the search of the truth, rather than accept it, maybe even at all costs. Jokes aside, if I'd heard a decent and persuasive counterpoint so as not to accept the reconstructed Attic (modern) pronunciation, then I would gladly do so. The evidence, on the other hand, suggests otherwise (after all, Greek wasn't at all in isolation, but rather, the opposite is true; its relation with other languages of its period can, although not without difficulty, be studied). It's the best approximation to reality modern linguists have provided, so who am I to judge? (Note: there have also been some interesting situations/evidence suggesting that more of the modern fricatives started to appear from the Attic dialect era, though it gets really messy from here (after all, language is a living organism and organisms are messy)). My username, if you're wondering, is a "conservative" transliteration of my legal name, using the aforementioned system ("Νεφέλη" becomes "Nephele").
As Greeks when we are kids we naturally learn the greek alphabet first and then the Latin alphabet after a year or two, when most kids start learning English. It's funny and confusing because when I was little I used to read all the English words and English signs in the streets in a greek way. For example I would read the "STOP" sign as "STOR" because a P is an R in Greek
In Russian too R is P
@@konstantinfromkrasnoyarsk5941 The Russian alphabet based in the Greek alphabet through the orthodox church in the Byzantium era, that's why!
@@konstantinfromkrasnoyarsk5941 also in Russian alphabet the English Hh or the Greek Ηη is Нн and pronounced as English Nn or Greek Νν right ? 😅
But you also got many other letters that sound similar to the Greek like Ф or М or П which are written similar with the Greek Φ Μ and Π and pronounced the same way.
Fun fact I studied the Greek alphabets in science and mathematics. 😂😂

Ypsilon is well known around the world, because it's used in math early in school. We all remember the a.b.c = y type of homework we all got at some point. And the teachers all use the Greek names of the letters, when applicable.
Greek is the ONLY language in the world where you can spell the letters
Trying to understand what you mean, could you please give me an example?

@@johnny19817 al-fa ,vi-ta, gam-ma , de-lta ,e-psi-lon etc
@@johnny19817 What he means is that we have full words for every letter. So instead of just writting "A", we can write Alpha(Άλφα). An example in english would be instead of just writting "W,J,K", is writting "double U", "Jay', "Kay" etc. Something like that at least :D
Italian also...
For us Spaniards, understanding the sounds is reeeeally easy, since we have the same ones. And Greek grammar is really similar to ours too.
Fun fact: Y in Spanish is called "ye" or "i griega", which means "Greek i".
Yes, greek sounds exactly like Spanish to me. I need a moment to understand which one I'm hearing
im chinese and i also speak greek so i knew all of it
Wow I’m so happy people are saying so nice things about greek in comments (I’m greek so yeah it makes me happy) Πάμε Ελλάδα!!!!
European languages are heavily influenced by both Greek and Latin and it is very much a cultural and ligistical things. For example words in Polish thst have Greek origins (spelled in Polish latinized alphabet) :
Alfabet, geografia, historia, filozofia, kartografia , names Zofia, Filip, Apolonia, Jerzy. And so much more
Spanish has 70% of words from Latin, 10% from Greek, 8% from Arabic, 3% from Gothic. The remaining 9% are loans from Ancient Celtic, Basque Eusquera, Aztecs' Nahuatl, Mayan's Quechua, Aimara, Guarani, Caribean's Taino, Persian, Tagalog... and modern English, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Hebrew, Russian, Japanese and Gypsies' Romani.
So in the end we had a lot of Greek influence. Most prefixes and sufixes in science are greek. The words you wrote are similar: alfabeto, geografía, historia, filosofía, cartografía, Sofía, Felipe, Apolonia. Even normal apliances like teléfono, televisión are a mix of Greek and Latin (tele=far, fono=voice, vision=sight)
αλφάβητο, γεωγραφία, ιστορία, φιλοσοφία, χαρτογραφία, Σοφία, Φίλιππος, Απολλωνία
But grammar is completely different ❤I am greek
@@BlackHoleSpainyes Spanish have few common words with greek but grammar is completely different ❤
Latin is also heavily inspired by greek
American college student would know, coz fraternities and sororities are named usually after 3 greek letters
how does this started? I mean for what reason the college groups use Greek letters?
I knew it as an information, mostly from American movies but i don't know the story behind this tradition.
If the Spanish girl deside to learn Greek (for any reason) she will speak Greek better than many Greeks and noone will understand she is a foreigner. That applies for all the Spanish people, they have the accent.
As an engineering student i knew almost all of them
Same, physics.
Love your shows!
I think it would be interesting to show them some Greek letters that have no equivalent in the latin alphabet and see what they would make out of them. ;)
Oh that would be an absolute chaos, trust me.
Even the word alphabet is greek and consists of the 2 fist letters in the Greek alphabet, A and B (Alpha and Beta).
Aldo our S is written "Σ" and pronounced "Sigma."
Fun facts that I didn't even realise they're a thing. Όμικρον (Omicron) is O-micron (a micro O), while Ωμέγα (Omega) is a mega O. Also, Ύψιλον (Ipsilon) literally means high pitched E (ψιλός is someone with lack of volume). Finally something for Ν/ν (Ν/n). Nike comes from the greek word Νίκη, which means victory and was also the name of the godness of victory. Have a look at the lowercase Ν (ν), that's Nike's logo!
Loved the video, such a fun group!
In german we call the letter y ypsilon as well 😌
Yeah but Üpsilon haha keine Ahnung warum man es im deutschen nicht wie ein i ausspricht..
@@So_-sk2wbIm Altgriechischen hat man das „Y“ noch wie „Ü“ ausgesprochen, der Laut ist aber im laufe der Zeit zu „i“ geworden, den Laut „Ü“ gibt es also im Modernen Griechischen nicht mehr. Lustigerweise verwandelt sich das „Ü“ in vielen Deutschen Dialekten auch immer in ein „i“, z.B Bayrisch: Übel-Iwel (verwandt mit eng. Evil btw), über-iwer, Rübe-Riabm, usw…
@@Nova-Franconia Ah okay interessant, ich hab mich nämlich schon die ganze Zeit gefragt warum wir es so aussprechen
I know almost all greek letters.
I think it's very common.
French "y'" is called "i grec" (greek i)
Also in spanish, "i griega" which translates exactly as "greek i", but we can call it with other name, "ye" (but this one is an older word, and is in disuse in Spain nowadays, but they still use it in some countrys in Iberoamérica).
In Polish it's also "igrek", however it doesn't simply mean "Greek i" in Polish, that would be "i greckie".
@@migteleco It is correct, in spanish it is like that, but I would like to clarify that the name that is recommended (recommended by RAE) is "ye", although the name "i griega" is also accepted. In spanish speaking Latin American countries we mostly use the name ye when the letter goes in a word (rayo, mayo, etc.) and we mostly call it "i griega" when it goes alone as a copulative conjunction between two words or phrases (peras Y manzanas). However, it is not unusual for us to call it either way in both exemplified situations.
@@mac1429refrain from speaking for latinamerican. In Argentina is I Griega, never heard of Ye, nobody says that. Same as we don't say U Be o doble U, we say Be corta ( short B) and Doble Be, double B.
@@Argentvs Thats more a caribeean thing, Cubans for example, they say Ye

Also the "υ" letter not only sounding as -ee but it also sometimes, when it's necessary, pronouncing as -f like the word "ταυ" instead of "taf"(the t letter). Also, in another times it pronouncing as -vee (like veeta) like the word "σαύρα" (sáura) instead of "savra"(lizard).

Omicron = O mirkon = Όμικρον, which in Greek translates as "small O" (micron=μικρόν=small). Omega = O mega=Ωμέγα , which in Greek translates as "big O" (mega=μέγα=big). The Omicron letter is supposed to resemble the sun in the day time, which looks smaller and is round and this gave the letter this shape O. The Omega is supposed to resemble the sun when it is setting, which looks bigger and is half hidden under the horizon. For this reason it has the shape Ω, like a big round sun, starting to hide under the horizon. This is the story of the two 'oh' letters of the Greek alphabet.
you teach them some letters of the alphabet with succed! Bravo!

Love this video and show more the greek woth the romanics neolatins girls models too ❤❤❤❤
You could say that omicron and omega are the two o's of greek language. They come from ancient greek where the omicron was the short sound (o - micron) and omega the long sound (o - mega), as you also said it in zoo. Micron and mega are the two known greek words, also for small and big.
This way you never forget it. ;)

And,btw,in Russia there is "alfavit",but Greek letter is calling "beta" [bæta].Curious.
Funny and intresting video.Thank You.
That's because Desi Erasmus fucked up the pronounciation of the greek language making all the germanic-saxon people, but not olny, pronouncing it his way. And today especially the american english has further butchered the greek languages through the fraternities: βήτα (beitaah) μι (moo) νι (νοο) πι (pie) φι (fei)
No, in Hellenic🇬🇷 it’s also alfavíta.
It’s not Alfa-beta❌
This is the incorrect Erasmian pronunciation which has nothing to do with how we pronounce our language!
We never called it bèta.
Ββ in Hellenic is V (víta)!
you're talking about modern Greek but in the ancient Greei the letters were pronounced differently, there were also aspirate sounds which don't exist now.
To be honest you make me to feel so proud as Greek. So, thank you! 😊🙏🏻 🇬🇷👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻✌🏻
That's when having studied engineering (before I changed paths), beccomes handy. Oh! And phonetics too. "Ll" in Catalan, "lh" in Portuguese and "gli" in Italian sounds the same way and the symbol it's the /λ/ (lambda)
Not quite. The sound is actually represented by an inverted y, not quite lambda. It's [ʎ]

Yes, ∆ is Д, π is П, rho is Р, lambda is Л, there is even theta in some Cyrillic alphabets (in old Russian it meant the [f] sound in religion things (and the "psi" letter was there).
Greek alphabet so close too Russian alphabet 😊
Yes it was hugely influenced by Greek alphabet
Kyrilos and Methodius was Greek Christians monk's, the ones who created your alphabet.
I am from greece and i know that is a really creative language.
Some pretty sure have also heard Alpha, Beta and Omega applied to animals or even now in the internet to alpha,beta males.
coming from the Greek alphabet,
- Alpha is the first letter, which can be also used to describe a wolf as the leader, or some males calling themselves Alpha
- Beta is the second letter, which can be used to describe the other wolfs of the pack, the followers(because after the letter Alpha, comes Beta) and again some men use it to insult other males as "followers" or not assertive etc.
- Omega is the last letter of the greek alphabet, which is also used for the wolfs, to describe the lowest/weaker one
The Greek letter T (τ) is pronounced taf, but in greek is spelled "ταυ" (ΤΑΥ); that's why when the "τ" is being used in science, they wrongfully pronounce it "tau". Spelling it ταφ (taf) is nowadays valid only cause of the oversimplification of the language.
It's because they pronounce it based on ancient greek, not modern greek. Ancient greek has been studied for millennia, nobody really cares about modern greek.
Αγαπάμε kyoumary 😍🇬🇷
That's when having studied engineering (before I changed paths), comes handy
I'm from Greece and Greece is beautiful ❤
Удивительно что греческое звучание букв очень похоже на русское
I think Russian is the most similar alphabet to Greek of all. 😍
@@stellamarina.Russians having an alphabet that Greeks created doesn't make their language any similar to greek 💀
@@veryberry4 yes, you're right. I meant the alphabet, not the language. I'll change my comment. Tnx.
Yoo
@@veryberry4it's bulgarian
Ah damn i wanted to see them try to guess the letters (ι), (κ) and (λ).
"χ" would be super funny though
@@kaan_isik Most of those letters have similar phonetics so i guess they skipped them for that reason, ξ,φ,χ,ψ,μ all have the v treatment.
My answers is,
a) don't know
b) kappa
c) lambda. (It was 25 years since I did math.)
@@reineh3477 The answer to the first is "Iota" (Ιώτα) or (γιώτα).
@@kaan_isik Guttural χ has an interesting story: we used that in Spanish until XVIII century. But Royal Language Academy decided to change written form to J in 1795. The new norm didn't reach the Americas as fast as it should, so Mexico still used χ when they got independent, while we changed it to Mejico. They still get mad about it 200 years later!
The funny thing is that almost every country outside hispanic sphere, thinks that Mexico is pronounced [meksiko] while it's [meχiko] with guttural χ
In the Americas, which have a way more relaxed way of pronunciation, almost everybody pronounces χ as an aspirated H, instead of Castillian Spanish who does a strong guttural χ
You omitted plenty of greek letters in this video but all you did great with those that you've been referring.
I love that videos we are all brothers make more ❤❤❤
There are many Greek words in Italian; from what I remember (other than Latin of course) we have Greek, Longobard/German and even Arabic words (eg coffee, sugar etc).
In (more or less) modern times instead, were added what we call Frenchisms and Englishisms (if I've written some inaccuracies people more competent will correct me).
Spanish has 70% of words from Latin, 10% from Greek, 8% from Arabic, 3% from Gothic. The remaining 9% are loans from Ancient Celtic, Basque Euskera, Aztecs' Nahuatl, Mayan's Quechua, Aimara, Guarani, Caribean's Taino, Persian, Tagalog... and modern English, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Hebrew, Russian, Japanese and Gypsies' Romani.
So in the end we had a lot of Greek influence. Most prefixes and sufixes in science are greek. Teléfono, televisión are a mix of Greek and Latin (tele=far, fono=voice, vision=sight)
In Portuguese "Y" is ípsilon. Together with "k" and "w", it's one of the letters of the alphabet that we don't use in the Portuguese language. 🙂
In italian the same
@@lucaserafini9580 - Besides those three, you guys don't use the "x" and the "j", so even less letters than us. 😃
the w is only used in Spanish for anglicisms
@@delmo3580 - The three letters that I mentioned are also used for words or names of foreign origin (not only for anglicisms) that we don't adapt or translate to Portuguese. Examples: Bayern Munique, Okinawa or Kelvin.
I know Spanish, so I know that you use the "y" but I can't think of any native Spanish word that uses the "k".
Really you dont use Y? Crazy conaidering that you are so close to spanish where Y is basically Essential.
I love u pronounce everything (im greek)
as a greek this made my day lol
